Stability note
Naked anti-FOLR1 antibody — no payload, no linker. Plasma t½ governed by neonatal Fc receptor recycling typical of IgG1 (~21 d) but t½ axis is not toxicity-relevant for this molecule because there is no warhead

Bioactivity note
Mechanism is payload-independent: farletuzumab is a naked anti-FRalpha mAb acting via ADCC, CDC, induction of autophagy, and inhibition of FRalpha-Lyn kinase growth signaling; it does not block folate binding/transport. No cytotoxic-payload IC50 applies.
